The Glover Mansion–Such a beautiful spot for an outdoor summer wedding!
Designed by famous Spokane architect, Kirtland Cutter in 1888 the Glover Mansion was home to James Nettle Glover, aka, “The Father of Spokane”.
These are photos I recently took for the Mansion…not of the wedding necessarily but to show off the great outdoor wedding/event venue for the Mansion which is nestled in on Spokane’s south hill.
A few weeks ago I photographed my friend’s son Max. We got shots at their home, visited a park, ice cream shop, and random parking lot. Max kept busy playing baseball with his dad, riding his scooter and just generally having a good time. Ice cream before noon can really keep a kid active! Here are a few from the day.
When I say I’m preparing for Hoopfest, I’m not talking about hi-tops, sweatbands, and mesh shorts–I really have no interest in basketball itself but I really enjoy the atmosphere down at Hoopfest each year as I walk around, meet friends, and take photos of the city bursting with activity.
I’m again looking forward to capturing the event this year. It’s currently forecast to be in the 80s over the weekend which can feel hotter downtown among all the concrete sidewalks and pavement.
The photo pictured here is in the current (June, 2009) issue of Spokane Metro Magazine. I took it last year from about five stories up of a game being played along Wall Street.
The photo was taken with a tilt shift lens which I talked about earlier on my blog. Also last year I posted other photos from Hoopfest 2008 too.
If you’re playing in Hoopfest, “good luck!” Maybe I’ll see you down there. Oh, and maybe I’ll catch a glimpse of Kareem!
Below is another of my favorite shots from last year.
